The quickfires have always had some sort of goofy element to it. The elimination challenges are usually more straightfoward.

They do. Most of the elimination challenges take place over a couple of days with multiple hours of prep/cook time.

For the most part the show has remained the same, with a few new twist to keep from going stale. The only thing I didn't really care for was the finale on the last season, but Tom Colicchio has already said they won't be doing that again.
